Futuba 8J for multirotor?

Post by Biggins »

I'm working on a hex build, and I have the futuba 8J for my rc.
After reading through the manual, I'm having some second thoughts as to whether this will work with a multirotor (all signs point towards traditional heli or plane)
Does anyone have experience with this unit, or have any advice?
Thanks in advance.

That radio will work fine.
Setup it up in AIRPLANE mode whjich is what is used for multi-rotors.
Do ensure that all mixing is off. Any mixing that is required is done within the FC code.

Next is adjusting the Stick center values (sub-trim) and End point (gains) using the MultiWii Config program to read the stick values.
Here is a starting tutorial.
